Travelling Tokyo (Completed)

[lyme]

The streets of Tokyo were jammed. On this beautiful Sunday, everyone wanted to go somewhere, heading off with friends and family. Everyone was walking, talking, and walking some more.

The sun shone down on the streets, and not a single cloud floated in the clear blue sky. Who could not enjoy such a day like this?

Well, the answer was simple. Taito, of course. He had been walking aimlessly for the past few hours, and he was NOT in a good mood. Hell, it looked like he was ready to kill someone.

Taito was contemplating just heading back home, but Kaito had told him to meet, and he would probably come back home whining about how Taito never showed up.

Then again, there was a low chance Taito would show up at the said meeting area in the first place.

Kaito had said, "Meet me at the fountain at that one place in that one area.. Tomorrow. Some time." Jerk. As if he couldn't get more vague.

So as Taito continued his adventures in the streets of Tokyo, he boiled in his own blood of anger and glared daggers at anyone who passed too close to him. The more mentally sensitive people suddenly had the urge to run home and hide in the closet for a few hours.

Some people had begun to stare at Taito. The young man was drawing some attention to himself, looking so the way he did. He had an ultimately darker and colder aura, and the bandages wrapped around him was pretty conspicuous.

"Mommy, it's a mummy!" Ooh boy, some kid was asking for it. Foolish child. A mummy is wrapped more and has decaying flesh. Obviously. Taito just gave the kid a look and kept walking.

Damn, it was hot in here. Maybe he should stop at a vending machine. There were tons in Tokyo anyways. There were like fifty on this very one street. Hmmmmm.....

Taito decided against it and kept walking. Where was this "one fountain" anyways? He had asked a man for directions, but he just gave him a withering look and kept ignored him afterwards.

This sucked. Maybe Kaito was pranking him.

....

NAAAAH. He was too stupid to do something like that, no matter how little thought it needed.

And hot damn, that sun was killing him. A drop of sweat rolled down Taito's forehead. His bangs began to stick to his face. It was extremely uncomfortable, and Taito couldn't get any cooler, even after taking off his coat.

Stupid Tokyo. Stupid sun. Stupid Kaito. Stupid everything.

[★D3su-Face★]

[And then I walk in.... c: ]

Tokyo was magnificent. The flashing colors, the bustling streets, the tall buildings. Too bad he was stuck inside of a boring building listening to a bunch of boring old men talk about boring things that just seemed to...ever so bore him. He had been ordered around all day by these dudes, and they really just couldn't find any humor in their souls. He sat up and grabbed his jacket, tied it around his waist, and then strode towards the door.

"Where are you going?" A man had asked, "You're not supposed to leave so early, we still have an hour left."
"Too bad!" Len snorted, showing a bit of his teenage brat side.

He walked out of the door, slamming it behind him. Who needs those gross old bags of wrinkles. He could at least enjoy his time in Tokyo. There were so many people here, and so many things to discover. What was there not to like? Or even be afraid of? This place was great.

Len smiled happily to himself, keeping his arms flat to his side, trying to avoid all other people at all cost. He knew his "ride" back home would not come for another hour or so, .. why not go wild?

He walked alongside the walls of the stores, and buildings, peering inside, and wandering around aimlessly. He had done that for maybe ten minutes. Finally he decided to go walk back to the area where he would be getting picked up.

Just as Len was getting ready to turn, something odd caught his eye. Was that..Kaito?

He reached his hand up, waving, "Hey Kaito! I didn't expect to see you here.." He reached over and tapped his shoulder. Wait...was that purple hair? No, that wasn't who he thought it was.

Len backed a foot away instantly, keeping his distance. Maybe the man was related? Well, that was a relief. They sure did look alike, that's for sure.

[dzetsu]

Tokyo was crowded. Like, totally overcrowded and stuffed to the brim with people. Throngs of citizens were walking down the sidewalks and crossing the street. Large groups were filling the many stores of the large city.

Nodoka sighed. Taking a lunch break in the city was probably a bad idea. She knew she should have brought her lunch, but oh no, she wanted to go take a look at that new ramen shop. Screw the good reviews. Nodoka wished she'd stayed in her safe and quiet office.

Flashing billboards were mounted on what seemed like every building, trying to attract customers. They really hurt Nodoka's poor eyes. As if her glasses weren't already thick enough.

Before she could start up in a depressed rant of self-pity, Nodoka noticed the attention of many pedestrians were not where they should be--they all seemed to be intent on watching something...?

A tall man had short purple hair. But that wasn't the only thing that seperated him from the average-Joe, er... average-Hiro? He was emitting a cold blue aura, mixed in with a little murderous intent? Wrapped around the man's body were white bandages, stained by splatters of blood. He looked like he just got in a car accident or something. Stupid people shouldn't jaywalk.

Nodoka was about to continue on her not-so-merry way when she saw a kid run up to the mummy. The little blondie said something as he tapped the man's shoulder. Did that brat have a death wish or something?

Being the epic hero she was, Nodoka rushed to save any family from having to identify a mangled little boy's body later on. She ran as fast as her short legs could take her, hoping to perhaps avert a crisis. It was a failure attempt.

Just as the bandage man turned around, dark purple eyes flashing in annoyance, Nodoka tripped. While she was running. Nodoka felt her feet leave the ground. She flew through the air for less than a second... And smashed into the mummy. Oh. Crap.

(Don't know any other way how to join without doing this! Sorry! )
It was a blazing hot day in the city of Tokyo.Well to some it was. The sun was out in the open and sending down rays of heat.People walking around were sweating. Well some were others were just enjoying this Sunday.

On the other side of the city. Ryu had just woken up.She hadn't noticed the heat outside.It was cool in her small house.The air conditioning was working for her.But the small girl didn't want t stay inside today. She already did that alot.

She climbed out her soft and comfy bed.She was covered with bloody scars and bruises.There was a gang fight the other day.Ryu didn't really want anyone to see her wounds.She was scared that they would worry or pity her. The 13 year old didn't want that.

Quickly but slow enough ,so she wouldn't hurt herself,Ryu took a shower.Once she stepped out she put on underwear and wrapped her body with bandages. But not all of it. Like just her legs and arms and torso up to the shoulders. Her back was where the deepest and most horrible scars were.Once she was done she went to her closet.

She pulled on a white tee-shirt and a black hooded sweatshirt.She also pulled on black skinny jeans with sneakers.But there was one small detail missing.Over her right eye was a bandage. Blood had soaked through it. That's one thing Ryu was worried about.

She frowned and fixed her hair so that her bangs kind of covered her right eye and the bandage. She hoped no one would notice.She then smiled slightly.

Ryu walked to her front door and opened it. She soon walked out and locked it. The teen was now exposed to the heat. Her wounds were hurting and starting to itch.She shrugged it off and started to walk.

To take her mind off her scars she took out her ipod. She plugged the earphones in her ears. Soon her favorite song came on.Fear Garden.She also hadn't noticed she was nearing Nodoka,Len and Taito.

The teen sighed as the song ended.At this time it came over her that Taito,Len and Nodoka were up ahead. The Nodoka girl had crashed onto Taito. Some how this made her feel mad.

But soon her mind became occupied. What if Taito found out what was wrong? That would be horrible. Ryu didn't want Taito to know. Who knows what he would do!But the frustrated and scared teen didn't want to think of that right now.

She gulped and walked over to the group. She decided to walk by casually but somehow she knew it wouldn't work out right. She was correct because just as she was about to pass she tripped and fell. She winced silently and looked up at the group. Now she was hot.Also she was starting to sweat. Today might not be a good day for her.

[icecreamlord]

He was so in for it when Taito actually showed up - if he did. Given that even though Kaito had asked his older brother to meet him, Kaito had done the stupidest thing in that situation.

HE GOT LOST.

He didn't mean to. After walking around for a few hours, Kaito realized that he didn't actually know where the fountain was after all. He didn't even know what time he was supposed to meet him. He'd been sitting in ice cream parlor since he lost his way, hoping his brother knew him well enough to direct himself there.

After all, it was a surefire way to find him. He thought so, anyways. So here he was, a pile of icecream sitting in front of him, oblivious to the hoards of people looking at him with strange expressions. He placed a hand beneath his head, taking another bite.

He began to look around, when it seemed like he'd seen someone familiar. Actually, so familiar, he knew who it was. And so, The blue-haired idiot- vocaloid got up, running out of the store ( as the shopkeeper yelled, "THIEF! PAY FOR YOUR ICECREAM, YOU BASTARD!" Kaito ignored him, though ) and towards the man, clad in purple. He flung himself at the man, arms spread wide with happiness.

"TAITO-NIIIII!!"

[lyme]

At this point, Taito was hating life and everyone who lived in it. Some idiot blondie had tapped him on the shoulder, some stupid brunette had tackled him, Ryu for some reason was tripping and cosplaying as him or something, and Kaito was coming over from the ice cream store with the underpaid owner on his heels.

The blond kid was staring at him wide-eyed. What was wrong with him? Was there something on Taito's face? Oh right, bandages and blood. But that wasn't unusual, right?

The brunette, on the other hand, was now on the ground hugging her knees. And bleeding. Well of course, she almost freaking tackled him. Taito had almost toppled, but Nodoka, being a lightweight, had simply bounced off (not literally) and scraped on the pavement.

Ryu was an even worse case. She was covered in bandages and blood, just like Taito. And she tripped. Her hair was matted with sweat and her right eye was covered. It reminded Taito of... a younger genderbent version of himself. Except he'd never trip. HA.

Okay, the last person for Taito to examine was Kaito. Kaito had ice cream smeared all over his face and clothing, and had tears in his eyes. He looked stupid, stupid, and more stupid. As always. There really wasn't much to say.

What was Taito doing in society again?

Oh right. Meeting Kaito that DAMNED IDIOT. Taito flared up with anger after remember Kaito's offense.

"YOU BRAT! I HATE YOU!" Taito grabbed Kaito by the shoulders and shook him forcefully.

[★D3su-Face★]

Just before Len could say anything else, someone came charging their way. He braced himself, hoping not to be collided into by the torpedo-like girl. Instead, she landed towards the creepy dude. Oh gosh, did he creep Len out.

A shiver ran down Len's spine as the purple-haired man had noticed him. Quickly, the boy did an over-take of the taller ... thing. What was he, part of the living dead? The poor guy was covered up in bandages. Maybe he'd gotten injured? Oh, now he felt bad for thinking so wrongly of the guy.

Then he heard a familiar voice. Kaito? Oh thank goodness, someone who he actually knew. He'd mentioned a name. Taito? Man the people who named these guys weren't so creative.

Quickly Len shook his head. Back to important matters. Why was he standing there so quietly? And.. oh is that Ryu? Ah, crap. Now he could feel the awkwardness even worse, now. Last time he saw her...what was it.. with Haku? Ah, oh well. Nothing to fret about too much right now.

Taito's yelling at Kaito almost made Len jump. Jeeze, they sure were being loud. Len silently hoped that these two wouldn't start a fight or stir up too much trouble. And not.. acquire so much attention.

[dzetsu]

Nodoka was face first on the burning hot asphalt. The stupid tar had absorbed too much heat from the sun. Damn thing was a conductor as well as black.

Lovely. Red blood leaked out of Nodoka's knees. The rough terrain had ripped a small hole in the cloth of Nodoka's black sweatpants. It hurt, but that kind of came along with injuries.

Mr. Mummy Murder moved on to his next victim--a blue haired young man (boy) with a blue scarf. His face was smeared in... white stuff. Nodoka took the benefit of the doubt and decide it was not what a bro would think it was, but ice cream. I mean, he came from an ice cream parlor guys. Get your mind out of the gutter.

"Stop," Nodoka called, trying not to quaver in her boots, err... sneakers. This guy was pretty scary, now that he was up close. "Don't... uh... pick on..."

The purple eyes of doom were trained on her. They seemed to be staring into her soul, and finding out every bad thing she'd ever done when she was little, knowing all her darkest secrets... Oh. Dear. Lord. This guy was like a mummy Satan.

"Carry on."

Nodoka hid behind Len. Their height difference wasn't that big. Which was sad. Len was a kid for god's sake, and Nodoka was 18. She was a legal adult in western countries. Of course Nodoka had two more years before she'd be an adult here, but still.

[Kagamine Rose]

Ryu had slowly gotten up. Her small wounded body was aching with pain. It was almost to much to bear. She wobbled as she tried to maintain her balance. She wasn't used to tripping. This might have been Life's way of torturing her.

The teen sighed and looked at Taito. She sighed once more.Sighing had become a big problem. The weird atmosphere helped her alittle. But mostly it didn't.The short girl frowned and looked at Kaito. He had been eating ice cream. She could tell. But she was also trying not to be perverted about it.

She had suceeded and her mind let her win. She smiled slightly over the thought. She limped and wobbled over to Taito. She looked at him and then at her.She looked like him. She was shocked. She knew he probably thought she was cosplaying him.

But the youngster shrugged it off. Right now wasn't the time to be thinking and keeping things in her mind. Well that's how her mind worked. But it almost bever worked. She sighed."Taito...",she whispered. She hoped he didn't hear her. She didn't want him to ask what happened to her. Not like anyone would anyway.

[icecreamlord]

"T-TAITO-NIISAN PLEASE STOP I-I CAN'T BREATHEEEE!!" Kaito shouted out, but due to his brother shaking him like a goddamn rag doll, he couldn't do much. Kaito's neck kind of came loose. He wondered if he'd die if this continued.

So in order to stop the death of Kaito, he continued shouting, grabbing onto his brother's arms and trying to stop the violent shaking.

"N-NIISAN I'M SORRY I FORGOT WHERE THE FOUNTAIN WASSS!! NIISAN MY NECK IS GOING TO BREAK IF YOU CONTINUEEEE!! NIISAAAAAAAN!!" Kaito began to kick out. Hopefully he'd hit Taito's kneecap or something before the older man killed him.

On the side, the shopkeeper cheered him on.

[lyme]

Kaito, who is a basic failure of life, (just kidding) had kicked Taito's shin, and the blow had bounced off ineffectively. Taito released his brother anyways. Killing him this way would be fast and have no blood. That would be pointless.

Taito looked over to Ryu. She was sighing a lot. Like he did. Was she making fun of him? Damn brat........... Wearing bandages, covering her right eye, sighing... next thing you know, she'd be dying her hair dark purple too.

At this point, pretty much everyone in the street were looking at this newly formed group. They sometimes whispered to one another. Some kids just walked by and stared. One moron bought popcorn just to watch. Taito ignored them and glared at Kaito.

"Your directions were the vaguest thing I have EVER read in a text message." He sighed, turned away, and took a few steps from the group. "I spent 3 hours trying to look for you." Taito turned to face Kaito once more. "And here you are, NOT by the 'that one fountain,' stealing ice cream from a poor over-worked balding man. I'm really ashamed to be related to you."

Taito was not in a good mood, but better than before. Now Kaito could get his business over with and Taito could go home in peace. Just a matter of time...

Then he remembered that Ryu had whispered, "Taito..." Well, it was pretty quiet, but he was sure that's what she said. Taito noticed that the little mummy was wobbling and sighing. Her face was in pain and she looked ready to fall over.

To help balance the poor girl, he held onto her right arm. He leaned over to Ryu's ear and asked, "What happened to you?" If she got into another gang fight, he was SO going to drag her home and force her in Kaito's room. That way, he could stop her from involving herself in brawls.

Ryu was most likely to assault his younger brother, but that was the intention. Then she could stay in his room and everything would work out. Taito noticed the said brother rubbing his neck and looking at him, unsuspecting. Heh.

[★D3su-Face★]

Len gazed up at the sky, not really much paying attention to the two quarreling over there. Or what Ryu was doing, or even the other rocket-chick. He was kind of just not really into this little conversation.

And why was everybody wearing bandages? It was like some... weird sci-fi movie, only real...and the tension between everybody was kind of..strange? The blond wondered if he should perhaps leave them be, but an odd sense of interest kicked in.

He moved over to Kaito, someone who he'd know for a long while, unlike the others who he had met just today.. or well, a little while back.

Len realized he had moved too far over, and collided with Kaito. Wait... that didn't feel like him. A body much too small. He turned, seeing Ryu being shoved backwards, getting closer towards that fast-moving traffic. Oh dear, oh dear, what have I done?

Being the helpless boy he was, he clenched his fists, about to utter an apology. Instead, he choked it back. Was that a feeling of.. accomplishment? No, not at all.

[Kagamine Rose]

Ryu fell to the ground with a thud and a pain ful scream.It hurt to fall on the ground. She looked at the oncoming car. She was frozen with fear but. She couldn't die here. Not now. She slowly tried to stand. But her knees gave away and she fell back down. The poor girl sighed. She might have to get hit. She couldn't move.

The car saw her and tried to make stop.But it was out of control. Ryu had gotten hit and blood was every where. Yet she wasn't dead. She was still breathing. She was lying on the ground. Her blood pooling out of her small body. She slowly got up and crawled to the others. People watched and one person auctually helped her stand.

Ryu sighed. She was glad the car didn't hit kill her. She smiled weakly. She was losing blood and began to feel dizzy. She sighed and looked at her blood. She hated to look at her blood. SHe was really glad the car didn't hit her with as muuch force as she though.

She looked at her friends. Or her so called friends. Who just watched. She shrugged it off. She knew they didn't care. "...I don't like Sundays...",she said before losing consciousness. She had to stay alive and that is the only reason she kept breathing. Somebody called the ambulance and took her to the hospital. One of the doctors stepped out the van before taking her to the hospital. He looked at Ryu's friends.

"Your friend or whatever...is going to live but...might be put into a coma...",he said before getting back into the van and driving Ryu to the hospital. Ryu was right. Today was horrible.If she was lucky she could get out the hospital today.

[lyme]

Taito was too shocked to really move. He didn't understand what happened, really. Suddenly, Ryu was thrown from his hands and fell onto the street behind him. Then she was hit by a truck. And eighteen-wheeler, to be exact. That wasn't the thing that Taito was shocked about, though.

The tiny girl, about the size of an eight year old, was hit by a truck, bleeding profusely, and still able to stand and make it to the hospital without dying before being driven off. He didn't really know what to say. What was this girl made out of, titanium? He wasn't upset that she survived or anything, but he wondered how one could possibly survive such a hit.

If all the little teen was doing was going to the hospital, then they should be able to take care of her well. That was Taito's reasoning. So instead of rushing after the ambulance, he assumed that Ryu would be okay and began to scold Kaito and told Len to be more careful. What if Len had fallen into the street instead, or someone who wasn't superhuman? There would be a death, alright.

[★D3su-Face★]

Len walked over towards the road that Ryu had been pushed towards. He really did that? He stared at the blood. Blood.. the metallic irony that reminded him that she was still alive. Oh god, what would happen if she actually did end up dying? He was so guilt-ridden that it hurt. At the same time, he wondered what it felt like to be a murderer. No, no no! Don't get such stupid ideas! Forget that it even happened!

Len waltzed on over to the others, only to be told "to be more careful." Be more careful? He almost killed someone, and that's all he gets told? He was expecting to be shunned, or not even looked at. He looked down at his feet, and mumbled softly, "I'm sorry, I'll be more aware of where I'm going."

After a small bit of silenced, he looked up, "Well, erm- Taito is it? I don't think we've met before." He tried to change the mood of things. Len held his hand out, "It's nice to meet you." He pulled off the usual smile.

Death is such a powerful thing. It just..wouldn't get out of his mind. He'd never seen someone almost die, much less ever see so much blood! He told himself to calm down, and tried to think of something else. Uh...bananas? Oh how he would love to have one right now! With their sugary yellowy-ness and..mm~

Len grinned, that worked.
